Woody nice pen. Your curves appear very gentle. Is the Rosewood veneer brittle? I have to be careful with the Bloodwood I have. I have overcome some of the problem by applying glue to the veneer and letting it sit to make the veneer more pliable. Those danged things are addictive aren't they?

Hi Terry I have been cutting my veneer across the grain so it bends easy I do need to get tighter curves when I have done veneer and stringers on boxes and furniture I used to use a spray and that softened and made the veneer and stringers softer and more ply able
